The effective operation of distributed energy sources relies significantly on the communication systems employed in microgrids. This article explores the fundamental communication requirements, structures, and protocols necessary to establish a secure connection in microgrids. This article examines the present difficulties facing, and progress in, smart microgrid communication technologies, including wired and wireless networks. Furthermore, it evaluates the incorporation of diverse security methods. This article showcases a case study that illustrates the implementation of a distributed cyber-security communication system in a microgrid setting. The study concludes by emphasizing the ongoing research endeavors and suggesting potential future research paths in the field of microgrid communications.

Although homelessness is inherently associated with social exclusion, homeless individuals are rarely included in conventional studies on social exclusion. Use of longitudinal survey data from a cohort study on homeless people in four major Dutch cities (n = 378) allowed to examine: changes in indicators of social exclusion among homeless people over a 2.5-year period after reporting to the social relief system, and associations between changes in indicators of social exclusion and changes in psychological distress. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the associations between changes in indicators of social exclusion and changes in psychological distress. Improvements were found in various indicators of social exclusion, whereas financial debts showed no significant improvement. Changes in unmet care needs, health insurance, social support from family and relatedness to others were related to changes in psychological distress. This study demonstrated improvements in various indicators of social exclusion among homeless people over a period of 2.5 years, and sheds light on the concept of social exclusion in relation to homelessness.
Relatie tussen spiermassa en vroegtijdig stoppen van chemotherapie bij patienten met hoofd-halskankerIn this study, we aim to assess whether low pre-treatment muscle mass, measured with CT at thoracic (T4) or lumbar level (L3) is associated with early termination of chemotherapy related to toxicity in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients.
We zetten ons in voor de implementatie van het leefstijlprogramma ProMuscle in de keten van zorg voor (pre)kwetsbare 65-plussers in de regio Noord-Veluwe. Samen met betrokkenen, 65-plussers, zorg- en welzijnsprofessionals, beleidsmakers etc., ontwikkelen en evalueren we activiteiten die de implementatie van ProMuscle verbeteren.
